@FinbarKeating @KeithGalvin No sponsors on shirts in 1990. They were only allowed from the 1991 season onwards.

@RefComeOn What’s rare is wonderful. Sure, we all know that!

@MickFoley76 @GAAOverTheBar He’s very much the recurring villain in the Over the Bar universe. 🙂

@MickFoley76 @GAAOverTheBar There’s a lot there! I’m actually friends with a grand-nephew of his. His was quite the life: 1916 volunteer, prisoner in Frongoch and later a TD. While he won a Connacht football medal in his youth he was also involved in hurling, and reffed the 1930 All-Ireland final.

@MickFoley76 @GAAOverTheBar 😃

@melrobe08536915 Really strange for you to be annoyed at a post saying “cut from the same cloth” ie grouping all into one pot - and then yourself saying also saying “they” have a single opinion.

@HowSoonisWhen @AndreaT2303 You don’t know your history if you think Mayo people feel “entitled” to All-Ireland wins. 😃

@gcooney93 Excellent post. John Healy would have loved yesterday.

@MickFoley76 @GAAOverTheBar @MayoGAA @Kerry_Official Re the mention of young Sean Flanagan. Crossard is in Tooreen, not Ballaghaderreen. He would have been a hurler, only the hurling club hadn’t been founded yet!

@GAALeagueTables Great news. 👏🏻

@DonaldClarke63 Same lad is probably enraged if anyone says “Seasons Greetings” or “Happy Winterval” though.

[John Nolan @jhnolan]

@DonaldClarke63 Saw that!

[John Nolan @jhnolan]

@eastcoast636 @BinRory @KillianM2 You haven’t remembered that entirely correctly.

[John Nolan @jhnolan]

@Leongbhailte @rtenews Oh yes they do. 😂

[John Nolan @jhnolan]

@IrishTimes Don’t tell me they actually got a trophy for this shit…

[John Nolan @jhnolan]

@MalachyClerkin The national heartrate graph is closely matching the map of where his drives go.

@PaddyDuffy Opel Manta? Opel Ascona more like.

@greg_jenner @sophiedukebox @BBCSounds Surely one of these weeks the guest will realise that the ‘which of these [x] is not associated with today’s famous person?’ multiple choice is ALWAYS a trick question… 😃

We've gotten a bit obsessed about the music of @ChappellRoan in our house over the Summer so delighted to see her epic Good Luck Babe is back at the top of the Irish charts this week. I *think* Ireland is the only country in which she's had a No. 1 single (so far), so yay us!
